Umm, most were not charged with any crimes yet. Only the asshole who altered the email was prosecuted and he got a tiny slap on the wrist.

Umm, clearly you didn't pay even the tiniest attention to all that shit, because you would know that the entire top of the FBI was dirty, aka pro-Hillary.

I do love how you play down the dirtiness of the government agencies, especially in regards to Trump. Then again, it's no surprise, coming from you.

I will agree that at the very low levels, it's mostly stupidity that causes problems, but that's not what we are talking about.

@hubrys What exactly have I been a hypocrite about? I don't like Fauci and this experiment makes him even worse. He's sick.

@raphjd said in CDC now says Vaccinated are the ones spreading the new Delta variant.:

@bi4smooth

Lots of people got C-19 and never knew it, unless now you are gonna claim that Fauci and the CDC are liars., but only on this topic.

This applies to both the vaccinated and unvaccinated.

Hell, I could have had it 45 times before I was privileged enough to be allowed to get the shots. I could have had it 45 times since I got the vaccine.

Only a fool doesn't believe that Bat Lady, Fauci and Bill Gate's Eco-Health created C-19 from the samples Bat Lady collected from that mine in 2009 after all the miners got sick.

I do agree about the Indian variant being a mutated version of the one created in the lab.

Well, depending on who you ask (and there isn't much evidence to back up either story - the Chinese have pretty well scorched the Earth trying to make sure we never know... which arguably might lean (even heavily) towards the man-made-accidental-release theory), the original COVID-19 was a man-made variant, or a nature-made variant... of a virus that Mother Nature put here first.

Still, regardless of the origin of the FIRST one, the Alpha, Beta, Gamma, & Delta variants were all NATURE made... and you can't turn off Mother Nature, and she's a real bitch when it comes to making living things stronger/faster/better!

And now, there's a new Lambda variant - they don't know much about it yet, but theoretically it could make Delta (which is the one responsible for the re-ignition of the pandemic) look like childs-play. (It could theoretically also be more like the others: Original, Alpha, Beta, etc...) Only time will tell.

What we DO know is that Mother Nature is still hard at work trying to create a COVID-19 that successfully defends itself against the immune responses generated by the COVID-19 vaccines... and WHEN she succeeds, we start the vaccine development process all over again - and until we get new vaccines against these new viruses, we'll be helpless (and dying).

In the meantime, I mask up when I'm in public... because, whether I'm vaxxed up or not, I don't want this bug in me! And I live in a hot-spot filled with "it's a freedom issue" idiots and assholes. What can I say: we're home to "Florida Man" and it's showing!

One last thing: studies have shown that immunity from the original COVID-19 infection (derived from getting it - and, presumably, surviving it) does little to protect you against the Delta variant... your body's NATURAL immune response from that strain doesn't recognize the Delta variant as a different verse to the same song. Likewise the immunity derived from the AZ & J&J vaccines (which are based on COVID-19 DNA) are significantly reduced against the Delta variant.

However, immunity derived from the mRNA vaccines seems to be still significantly effective against Delta - albeit not AS effective as against the original - but that is possibly because the Delta is so much more aggressive and virulent than the original to begin with...

Regardless, the exciting thing about all of this is the effectiveness of the mRNA vaccines and their ability to trigger our immune systems to attack specific proteins... this could be used to treat HIV (its original intended target), some cancers, possibly even sickle-cell and leukemia!

The research is new - and therefore, we shouldn't get our hopes up too much... but the efficacy of the mRNA against COVID-19 was expected to be in the 60-70% range... they never DREAMED it'd be in the 95-97% range (what it was against the original COVID-19 strain)....

I've been saying for several years now: my grandchildren are going to live in wonderful (or possibly frightening) times: we're unlocking medicine and material science unlike any other time in human history... used properly, we could see many diseases and ailments completely wiped out! Used improperly, we could have new "tools of warfare" that will scare the pants off of you!

We already live in interesting times (Chinese curse being the origin of that statement)... and they're not looking like they're going to get boring any time soon!

That said, I think we should think about storing more than plant DNA in those arctic vaults... we should start storing significant human knowledge up there. IMHO, we're going to eventually kill ourselves - the human race will extinguish itself completely, or at least knock ourselves back to the stone-age. We should leave something for the "next thing" to get some of our technology: tools, materials - maybe not nuclear physics tho LOL!

For a reference, read Larry Niven's old SciFi book: The Mote in God's Eye... a really good read, if you ask me! (advances in material science could include a frictionless toilet! LOL)

Correction: The Mote in God's Eye was a collaboration between Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle (link)

@manhandler Well your numbers are not right. Sweden had new cases per week 21 people out of 100.000 people. It is still low compared to other European countries, but not zero. Also Sweden has imposed more strict restrictions the last few months. I know, I live next to Sweden.

@manhandler Maybe it is so in your country, but most is fine in my country. And 68% is vaccined here and 94% want the vaccines. So we are happy that the covid19 will be gone in my country soon.

@manhandler re: Sydney - it was actually the other way ariound

140 were UNvaccinated - he got it wrong and a few secs later apologised and corrected himself

@manhandler And for all those of you "woke" folk, who will say that owning people is never good, therefore, there can be no such thing as a "good" slave owner. Of course not. One of the major problems I have is that liberals follow blindly as slaves right now, to a system that literally claims to legally and lawfully own you through many means, such as Capitis Diminutio Maxima, US citizenship, Birth Certificates, and Maritime Admiralty Law. You relinquish your rights in exchange for privileges. You relinquish your privacy and other rights through fear in favor of security. You relinquish your rights in favor of the mob through peer pressure. The people are slaves right now, thanks to YOU and the rest of society acting like sheep, which is why the government treats you like animals. In fact you are considered male or female, not man or woman, and the legal dictionary says that male or female distinguishes an animal. This is the system that was created whereby you "think" you are free simply because you cannot see your chains. After the Civil War which was largely fought over slavery, EVERYONE was considered a slave to the Corporation.

Was there a "good" slave owner? No, but many slaves spoke well of their masters who provided them with a better life than they had in the jungle and the desert in Africa among the tribal life, in exchange for labor. Not all of them were forced either. I think I read somewhere that the first slave owner in America was black. They were sold by Africans. Africa had slavery before America did, and America ended it in the physical sense, although Africa still has slavery today. Nobody is complaining about that one bit. Injustice? I guess it's only if the white man does it. That sounds like racism to me. Although slavery is evil, I don't think all of the slave owners in early America were evil, especially when their indentured servants spoke well of them. Yes, it has been tough for black people to get ahead, and yes it sucks. But much of their struggle today has to do with members of their own community, rap music, drugs, gangs, violence, BLM and ANTIFA burning down their neighborhoods. I am tired of being blamed for their plight when I had nothing to do with it. And yes Obama's family had slaves historically, does that mean I would blame him for something? Of course not. So I won't hold me to account for something like that either.

@manhandler

It's what you get when politics matter more than people's lives.

@manhandler I forgot to mention that Singapore is also one of the most vaccinated countries in the world. Is Singapore a country? I think it used to be part of Malaysia but now a Republic.

@raphjd Of course they did. I called the FBI personally and asked why Roger Stone's arrest was televised and posted a video of the phone call. The agent on the phone said we don't coordinate with CNN, and I said, It was on TV. You did. It was on television, you did coordinate with them. They were there for the arrest at 3 AM. How else would they have known about it? He continued to say that they don't coordinate with CNN and I reiterated: It was on TV sir. He hung up after that. Because they do and did. Criminal organization.
